Absolute Sauna Ladprao 112 is closed

Second visit 09.11.2014, signs not illuminated, door locked and this note on the door (my translation: Notice Absolute Sauna will stay open for business until Friday 31.10.2014. From Saturday 01.11.2014 the business will be closed. If you are interest in renting the property, call (phone number)):

Address:

508 ซอย ลาดพร้าว 112 หมู่บ้านเกษมสันต์ เรสซิเดนท์ ถนน ลาดพร้าว แขวง พลับพลา เขต วังทองหลาง กรุงเทพมหานคร 10240

Ladprao Soi 112, number 508, Moo Baan Gasemsan Residence

Location:

On their map, location is correct, but resolution insufficient. On maps by other websites, location is wrong (in once case so far off that I don’t have to investigate further, in the other case about 500 m wrong).

Directions:

Closer to Ramkhamhaeng Soi 53 than Ladprao Soi 112 (which is currently Oct 2014 under renovation, limited traffic, but savvy taxi driver will know access from other sois).

From Ramkhamhaeng road, walk to the end of Soi 53 (past Tesco Lotus Express and 7/11 branch 3988 สันตะพระเสริฐ ราม 53/5), 7/11 branch 4285 ลาดพร้าว 112 จุด 2 Ladprao 112 2^nd shop will be on your right, but you have to turn left and walk about 50 m. There is a sign “Absolute Fitness & Sauna”, turn right into the soi (dead end soi). You will walk past a building that is under construction (or demolition) that is inclined towards the soi like the leaning tower of Pisa. Absolute sauna is at the end of the soi, on the right (illuminated sign).

From Ladprao, go into soi 112, turn right at the end and from 7/11 branch 4285 follow instructions from above.

I am impressed with interior decoration, cleanliness and maintenance. Far above average.

First visit Sunday 12.10.2014

Enter 22:10, leave 22:45. Right after I paid entry, staff tells me that there are 3 other customers. I spot two of them in a private room, apart from staff (two at reception, one in karaoke room, one at the pool) I am alone. I got locker number 52. Upon leaving, I inquire number of customers today: about 60, busiest time was 7 pm. When I return, the sing at the main road is not illuminated any more (probably early closing due to lack of customers).
